I am struggling setting my homey pro to set up basic lighting on/off with sunset/sunrise. This needs to adjust with the clock daily.

i have used smarthings before and it’s a simple task! Not sure what I’m missing

At “offset” you’ll need to enter a value from -120 to 120. Usually 0.  
BTW Few triggercards can handle tags, like you used now.

Yes, this should work. The sunset flow most probably ran already.
